Best Baby Strollers

If you have your heart set on a Quinny pushchair, the Speedi SX may be your best choice. All Quinny models are fashionable and sleek as well as easy to push and maneuver, but the Quinny Speedi rises above the Buzz and the Zapp with some thoughtful features the smaller pushchairs lack.

Quinny makes 3-wheeled pushchairs. This design has plusses and minuses. On the positive side, Quinny’s compact 3-wheeled pushchairs are very light and easy to maneuver. Parents are always happy with Quinny’s performance in this area. However, Quinny’s smaller pushchairs, the Zapp and the Buzz, are so light that they tend to be unstable and tip easily. The Zapp and Buzz also have a small plastic swivel wheel in front that doesn’t handle rough terrain well. Quinny has addressed this problem with the Quinny Speedi SX pushchair. The Speedi SX has three air-filled pneumatic wheels that handle bumps, kerbs, and rough road extremely well. Because the Quinny Speedi SX’s wheel base is slightly larger than the Buzz and Zapp, the Speedi SX doesn’t tip easily and is much more stable, even in snow or sand.

Another complaint about the Quinny Buzz and Zapp is that they don’t have enough storage. The Quinny Speedi SX comes with an adjustable shopping basket that can hold everything you need for a day out and about. Even a very small amount of weight hung from the handles of the smaller Quinnys would cause them to tip backwards. The Quinny Speedi SX is longer and more stable than the Buzz or Zapp, so you can hang shopping or a nappy bag from the handle without worrying about it tipping over.

Quinny admits that the Buzz and the Zapp are designed for light use. Neither pushchair is meant to be an all in one transport solution. The Quinny Zapp doesn’t even recline, and the Buzz is too small for most toddlers. The Speedi SX, on the other hand, really does work in nearly all situations. Unlike the Zapp and Buzz, the Speedi SX can handle all sorts of terrain whether its cruising city streets or strolling through the woods. The Speedi is comfortable for kids and parents alike with a spacious seat and an adjustable handlebar. The Quinny Speedi SX comes with both foot and hand brakes, making it ideal for walking on hills and over rough pavement.

The Quinny Speedi SX pushchair does have some drawbacks. Like the Zapp, the Speedi doesn’t recline, although the seat is tilted back slightly (which older kids may not like). The Quinny Speedi SX is also a little larger than other Quinny models when folded, but in my mind the benefits of a slightly larger pushchair outweigh the loss of some space in the boot.

The Quinny Speedi SX in only average in value. A complete travel system with pushchair, carrycot, and car seat will cost about £480. That’s a lot of money, but the Quinny Speedi SX will last for years and perform through multiple children. All in all, the Speedi SX really is Quinny’s best pushchair, even if it isn’t their most stylish or innovative.

Quinny, a European manufacturer of baby products, is gaining popularity in the US market with its stylish, modern strollers and baby carriers. Moms (and especially dads) who are tired of babyish strollers with cartoon character fabric and clunky styling will appreciate the Quinny Zapp, a lightweight travel stroller with a modern esthetic.

Quinny has managed to make a stroller that looks sporty and chic. The Zapp is truly a unisex baby stroller. Dads love the Quinny Zapp’s minimalist, curvy brushed aluminum frame and vivid, eye-catching colors. Despite being a compact stroller, the Quinny Zapp has ergonomic handles that are comfortable for even tall men to use. The Quinny Zapp features a solid colored seat in aqua, orange, bright pink, and lime. A black version of the Quinny Zapp stroller is also available but hard to come by. The black version of the Zapp can cost up to $50 more than the other colors.

Quinny didn’t sacrifice function for form with the Zapp stroller—something that happens far too often in the trendy, stroller-of-the-minute market. The Quinny Zapp is the most compact stroller on the planet (or so Quinny claims), making it perfect for travel or keeping in the trunk for running light errands or cruising the mall. When folded down, the Quinny is remarkable 12” x 27”! That makes the Quinny Zapp small enough to fit in the leg room beneath your baby’s car seat or carry on a plane. The Quinny Zapp comes with a carrying bag to protect the stroller during travel.

Parents who use the Quinny Zapp rave about how easy it is to push and maneuver. Tales of weaving effortlessly through crowded shops abound. One mother said the Quinny Zapp is to easy to use, she can push the stroller with one finger over flat surfaces. Unlike most other light strollers, the Quinny Zapp has wide 2” wheels that allow it to travel over moderately rough road—but certainly not as well as a larger stroller would. Folding and unfolding the Quinny Zapp is pretty easy once you get the hang of it, but be prepared to use both hands rather than one as you would with a Graco model.

The Quinny Zapp featured on the American market is slightly different than the model found in the UK. The American Zapp has four wheels instead of three like all the UK models. More wheels mean more stability, and Quinny seems to have responded to complaints that its three-wheeled strollers were too unstable and prone to tipping, especially if bags were hung from the handle.. The American version of the Zapp also features an under-seat storage basket, a feature the UK parents sorely missed. The UK version also lacked adjustable shoulder straps. Some British parents complained that the Quinny Zapp’s straps were far too small for their older kids. Quinny has addressed this problem in the American model by including adjustable straps. Neither model features a reclining seat, something that many parents are upset with. Quinny had to sacrifice a reclining seat for the Zapp stroller in order to make it fold so compactly. While some bemoan this fact, it shouldn’t really be a problem if you are using the Quinny Zapp as it is intended: as a travel or second stroller. Babies can sleep in the Zapp if parents use it as a travel system with the Quinny Maxi Cosi car seat.

If you are looking for a lightweight, super compact stroller that is high on style and daddy friendly, the Quinny Zapp may be just right.

Quinny has addressed the needs of parents who travel a lot with the Quinny Zapp—a stylish lightweight pushchair that Quinny claims is the most compact pushchair in the world when folded. Whether or not Quinny is right isn’t as important as what parents say: the Quinny Zapp is a fabulous pushchair for going on holiday with baby.

The Quinny Zapp pushchair is, like most Quinny models, three wheeled. The front swivel wheel makes the Quinny maneuverable and easy to steer. Parents across the board say that the Quinny Zapp pushchair is a dream to walk with and can even be pushed with one finger on a flat, level surface. The Quinny Zapp’s rear wheels are much wider than most lightweight strollers, allowing the Zapp to ride over moderately rough surfaces like bluestone and pea gravel. The Quinny Zapp comes with a pushchair carry bag that makes it easy to pack the Zapp for the boot, plane, or train. Quinny even makes a bicycle attachment that allows you to carry the Zapp pushchair when cycling.

Quinny is known for their stylish pushchairs, and the Zapp is no exception. If you want a pushchair that will turn heads, the Quinny Zapp is an excellent choice. The Zapp almost looks futuristic with its bowed out, pod-like frame. Quinny makes the Zapp in an array of beautiful eye-catching colors along with some more neutral favorites for the understated mum. The Zapp is also easy to collapse and store. Although some parents found the Quinny Zapp pushchair hard to work with, most sang the praises of the Zapp’s easy folding and unfolding. The Quinny Zapp’s handles and breaks were also rated as comfortable and easy to use.

The Quinny Zapp is not ideal for all parents. Quinny designed the Zapp as travel and light use stroller rather than an all around performer. Do not purchase the Quinny Zapp as your only pushchair as it lacks some of the most basic amenities. Quinny made a major oversight by not including a reclining seat in the Zapp. Many parents complain about their children being unable to sleep in the Quinny Zapp pushchair (but if your baby is like mine the lack of recline doesn’t matter as he won’t sleep in a pushchair anyway). The Quinny Zapp also lacks any storage at all—not so much as a cup holder or small bag. Hanging anything other than the lightest of bags from the Zapp’s handle will cause it to tip dangerously backwards. Optional bags are available, but they are expensive and don’t perform to most parents’ standards.

Another drawback to the Quinny Zapp is the quality of its accessories. Many parents complained that the sunshade doesn’t stay on very well, and nearly everyone mentioned that the rain cover included with the Quinny Zapp pushchair was so flimsy that the slightest gust of wind would send it crashing down on the baby. Some parents found the very lightness of the Quinny Zapp disconcerting as the pushchair felt flimsy and insubstantial.

Overall, the parents who rated the Quinny Zapp the highest were the ones who were using the pushchair the way it was designed to be used: for travel and running errands round the shops. If you are looking for a pushchair to take on holiday or to keep in the boot, a Quinny Zapp may be a good choice. Otherwise, look for a pushchair with more features.

The Quinny Buzz, introduced in 2006, was supposed to be Quinny’s entry in the new urban pushchair market, competing against models like the Bugaboo Chameleon (Quinny seems to have borrowed Bugaboo’s look), Stokke Xplory, and Silver Cross Dazzle. This is a tough playing ground, and Quinny has struggled to come up with some innovative features to set the Buzz apart from the rest of the pack.

Like most expensive “urban” strollers, the Quinny Buzz has slick design and is very comfortable to push. The Buzz comes in safe colours that won’t go out of style, and Quinny’s 3-wheeled design on the Buzz’s chassis is quite striking. The Quinny Buzz has a reversible pushchair seat so you can face your baby which ever direction you prefer or move her when the sun gets in her eyes. Unlike some other trendy models, the Quinny is almost reasonably priced at about £270, but it lacks many of the accessories of the Bugaboo and other models. If you purchase the Quinny Buzz along with the Dreami carrycot and Maxi Cosi car seat, you’ll end up paying around £500, still less that you would pay for the Bugaboo Gecko alone.

The Quinny Buzz’s most celebrated gimmick is its ability to unfold on its own using a “gas spring technique.” When folded down for storage or transport, the Quinny Buzz is quite compact and easily fits in most car boots. The Quinny Buzz’s wheels can also be removed to make it fit in even smaller spaces.

Unfortunately, the Quinny Buzz’s unfolding trick is also is major downfall. Numerous parents complain that the Buzz has sprung open unexpectedly and trapped their fingers in the chassis. More than one mum wondered what would happen if it were a child’s finger caught by the Quinny Buzz. Once a finger is trapped in the Buzz, it is impossible to close it on your own as it takes two hands to fold down. One poor mum was trapped in the parking lot in total agony until a kind passerby helped her escape. Even the best pushchair in the world simply isn’t acceptable if it could seriously injure a child the way the Quinny Buzz could.

If Quinny were to recall the Buzz and fix the finger-snapping problem, I could recommend this pushchair to anyone who wants the look of a modern buggy without the huge price tag. But until Quinny takes the sting out of the Buzz, I advise parents to stay away.

If you are looking for an alternative to the pricy Bugaboo Gecko, the Quinny Buzz may be on your list of potential candidates. It’s true that the Quinny Buzz looks something like a Bugaboo, and, like the Gecko, the Buzz is a stroller that any dad would be happy to be seen pushing. However, the Buzz is not a perfect stroller, and some of its main selling points are also its downfalls.

Folding Mechanism
The Quinny Buzz’s most unique feature is its gas spring unfolding mechanism that allows the stroller to unfold by itself. True to Quinny’s word, the Buzz glides open with a gentle nudge. Unfortunately, the ease of folding only goes one way. Collapsing the Quinny Buzz can be a challenge since you have to work against the very gas spring mechanism that makes opening the Buzz so easy. Some parents have also reported the Buzz opening unexpectedly and trapping their fingers.

Styling
The Quinny Buzz is definitely a great looking stroller. The Buzz looks like something designed to haul around sports equipment—but only really cool sports equipment. Quinny is going for a minimalist look similar to what you’ll find in the Bugaboo brand. Dads might love the simple grace of the Quinny Buzz, but moms are sure to bemoan its lack of amenities. The Quinny Buzz has no cup holders, parent tray, or child snack tray. Storage on the Quinny Buzz is limited to the “Buzz Box,” a zippered bag that hangs off the back of the stroller. The Buzz Box is only large enough to hold the bare essentials, so shopping can be problematic.

Ergonomics
Quinny designed the Buzz to be very comfortable to push, and they have succeeded in large part. One of the best features of the Quinny Buzz is the adjustable handle that not only rises up but also out, making it easier for tall people with longer strides to push. Quinny has made the Buzz feel light and agile with a 3-wheel design that makes turning tight corners a breeze. The seat on the Quinny Buzz is also very snuggly and comfortable for young children. However, the three-wheel design of the Quinny Buzz is slightly unstable and prone to tipping when going over large bumps or curbs. Some parents complain that the Buzz doesn’t do well in snow or over rough pavement unless you pull it rather than push it. The Quinny Buzz’s seat is great for small babies, but toddlers will find that the foot rest is far too short and the shoulder straps are overly snug even when loosened all the way.

Value
At first glance, the Quinny Buzz seems like a good value compared to other designer strollers like the Bugaboo. The Quinny Buzz costs about $500 and includes the chassis, seat, Buzz Box, rain cover, tire pump, and car seat adaptor. This may seem like a good deal compared to the Bugaboo Gecko which costs $679, but the Gecko comes with the same things as the Buzz (minus car seat adaptors) as well as a carry cot and mosquito net. Purchasing the Dreami carrycot to go with the Quinny Buzz costs an additional $190, making it more expensive overall.

If you read the tabloids, or even just glace at them while standing in the checkout line at the grocery store, odds are you’ve seen a Bugaboo stroller. Hollywood has gone crazy for Bugaboo. Stars like Julia Roberts, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Maggie Gyllenhaal have all been photographed with their babies strapped into a Bugaboo. The Bugaboo brand has even been placed on hip television shows like Sex and the City. So, is all this hype supporting a substantial product or is the Bugaboo just another Hollywood trend?

There are two things to know when buying a Bugaboo stroller. First, you are getting a quality piece of baby gear that is unlike anything else you’ve ever tried. Second, you are going to pay a small fortune for the Bugaboo brand, probably more than any stroller is really worth.

Bugaboo’s two most popular models, the Frog and the Gecko are essentially the same stroller. The Gecko is slightly cheaper. Both strollers come with Bugaboo’s unique chassis—this is really what makes Bugaboo special. The Bugaboo chassis features two sets of wheels. One set is air-filled and the other is traditional swivel wheels. What makes this combination special is its ability to transform a Bugaboo stroller from an agile, maneuverable stroller suited to city life to a rugged, smooth-riding all-terrain buggy. Best of all, the Bugaboo’s transformation happens with the flip of a switch in the reversible handle. Parents across the board give Bugaboo high marks for this innovative feature. Virtually everyone who writes a review on any of the Bugaboo strollers talks about the brand’s smooth, comfortable ride. Numerous parents compare their Bugaboo to a sports car. You don’t push a Bugaboo, you drive a Bugaboo.

The Bugaboo Chameleon has the same chassis as the Frog and the Gecko, but it goes beyond them by adding adjustable swivel wheel suspension and a height adjustable handlebar. The Chameleon also features larger storage and fancier custom fabric options.

All three Bugaboo models above come with a fabric stroller seat and a fabric bassinette with one frame to share between the two, so switching between pram and stroller is a lengthy process. The Bugaboo Frog, Gecko, and Chameleon come with two piece folding; i.e. the seat and the chassis fold separately. This can be something of a pain if you plan on using your Bugaboo to run errands with the car. None of the Bugaboo models above are very compact, making them a poor choice for traveling.

Bugaboo has tried to address some of its shortcomings with the Bee stroller, Bugaboo’s most compact model. The Bee lacks the fancy chassis of the other models, but it still features suspension on all wheels and easy maneuverability. The Bee can be folded in one piece or two, making it easier to transport. The Bee also requires fewer fiddly adjustments than the Frog, Gecko, or Chameleon and is cheaper than the other models by a fair amount.

Don’t let the word “cheaper” mislead you. Even the Bugaboo Bee is expensive at $530. The Gecko and Frog range from $679 to $760. A standard Chameleon will run you $800 while a limited edition model like the new Neiman Marcus metallic silver edition will cost you an outrageous $1,200. No wonder Hollywood likes Bugaboo so much; Bugaboo is a stroller and a status symbol all in one.

Ultimately, Bugaboo strollers are nice, very nice, but for the price Bugaboo charges, I would expect a little more convenience and little less Hollywood.

Bugaboo, the Dutch buggy manufacturer, makes several unique buggy models. If you can afford a Bugaboo, you’ll be getting the best buggy money can buy. Bugaboo is renowned for their smooth-riding buggies and their appeal to movie stars and the social elite. Here is a comparison of the different Bugaboo buggy models available in the UK.

Bugaboo Gecko
The Bugaboo Gecko buggy is the base model for the Bugaboo brand. Bugaboo is phasing out its earlier model, the Frog, in favor of the Gecko which costs less but has extra features the Frog lacks. The Gecko buggy comes with Bugaboo’s trademark go-anywhere chassis. The Bugaboo Gecko Buggy can go from easily maneuverable city stroller to sturdy all-terrain buggy simply by changing the handle from one direction to another. Reversing the Bugaboo handle is easy and fast, allowing for instant adjustment to any terrain. The Gecko buggy comes with a reversible pushchair seat and a pram, so it is suitable from birth to age 4.

While the Bugaboo Gecko is unquestioningly pleasant to push, it can be tricky to collapse and must be broken down in two parts. This makes the Gecko and inconvenient buggy for travel as it is quite large for most boots and impossible to take on the bus. The Bugaboo Gecko also lacks some important features like a sunshade and cup holder which must be purchased separately.

Bugaboo Chameleon
The Chameleon is Bugaboo’s deluxe buggy and comes with all the features of the Gecko plus a few more. The Bugaboo Chameleon buggy has adjustable suspension on its swivel wheels and a telescoping handle, making the Chameleon a comfortable buggy to push for people of all heights. The Bugaboo Chameleon features a larger under-seat storage bag than the Gecko buggy and comes in custom tailored colors, making it a more fashionable choice.

The Bugaboo Chameleon suffers from many of the same shortcomings and the Gecko, and most parents who have reviewed this buggy say that it isn’t worth the extra money for so few additional features.

Bugaboo Bee
The Bugaboo Bee buggy is the lightest of the Bugaboo models and is new in 2007. The Bugaboo Bee was designed to meet some of the shortcomings in the older Bugaboo models. The Bee buggy folds in one piece and is more compact, although still larger than most light strollers. The Bugaboo Bee Buggy comes with an ample sunshade and large shopping basket, but it lacks a pram. Unlike the Gecko and the Chameleon, the Bugaboo Bee is designed to be primarily a city buggy and lacks the large pneumatic tires of the other Bugaboo models.

One of the few features the Peg Perego Pliko P3 Classico doesn’t have is a pram mode. Now, with the Peg Perego Pliko Pramette, even that feature is addressed. The Peg Perego Pliko Pramette is essentially a Pliko P3 Classico with addition of Peg Perego’s “pramette” upholstery, an easy to use zippered attachment that converts the Pliko P3 Classico into a comfortable and safe pram.

Peg Perego’s other convertible pram to stroller systems have their fair share of drawbacks. The Peg Perego Uno, while stylish and smooth-riding, is bulky and wide. The Peg Perego Venezia, the company’s first venture in the convertible stroller market, is plagued by quality issues. Rather than design yet another convertible model, Peg Perego made a smart move in creating an accessory that transforms their most popular and full featured stroller, the Pliko P3 Classico, into a pram.

The Peg Perego Pliko Pramette upholstery is a little tricky to master at first, but if you keep in mind the name Peg Perego has given the feature, “zip, fold, zip,” the process is fairly simple. To convert from stroller to pram, unzip the Peg Perego Pliko Pramette upholstery and attach it to the Pliko P3 Classico stroller seat. Next, you fully reline the Pliko P3 Classico stroller seat and pop the Peg Perego Pliko Pramette into shape. By zipping on the Peg Perego Pliko Pramette’s foot muff, you complete the transformation and have a snug but spacious pram. To return the Peg Perego Pliko Pramette back to the Pliko P3 Classico form, you simply reverse the process.

Because the body of the Peg Perego Pliko Pramette is a Pliko P3 Classico, you know you’ll be getting a load of handy features. The Peg Perego Pliko P3 Classico and the Pliko Pramette have a chassis with full wheel suspension, adjustable handles, built-in car seat adaptors, and cable brakes. One of the best features of the Peg Perego Pliko Pramette and Pliko P3 Classico is the included footrest that serves as a riding spot for toddlers. Convenient features like a cup holder, shopping basket, sunshade, and child snack tray are all included with the Peg Perego Pliko Pramette.

The price difference between the Peg Perego Pliko Pramette (about $430) and the Pliko P3 Classico (about $330) is roughly $100, so you’ll be paying more for the Peg Perego Pliko Pramette than you would for the Peg Perego Uno or Venezia, but in return you get a stroller that is higher quality and less prone to problems. Thanks to the universal car seat adaptor, the Peg Perego Pliko Pramette really covers all the bases of a travel system that can be used from birth to toddler. That being said, the Peg Perego Pliko P3 Classico does have a fully reclining seat, so if you don’t mind having your baby face away from you and not being fully enclosed, simply buying the Pliko P3 Completo is the most affordable option.

The Pliko Switch pushchair is a brand new Peg Pergo model (available in 2008) that takes all of the features of Peg Perego’s popular Pliko line and adds one that mums in the UK have been clamoring for over the past few years. The Peg Perego Pliko Switch pushchair is reversible, so it can be forward facing or rearward facing. The ability to keep your eye on baby has long been lacking in Peg Perego strollers, so the Pliko Switch is a welcome addition to the excellent Peg Perego line.

The Peg Perego Pliko Switch pushchair is umbrella folding both with the seat facing the mother and with the seat facing forwards, a big plus in my book. Too many reversible pushchairs either require the seat to be removed before folding or returned to one position of the other. The Peg Perego Pliko Switch is extremely compact when closed and can even stand up alone, making it a space-saving pushchair for family’s without a lot of extra room. The Peg Perego Pliko Switch pushchair also features a centralized handle to make folding and carrying easy, even while holding baby.

Height adjustable handles, large shopping basket, cup holders, and hinged front bumper/baby tray make the Peg Perego Pliko Switch convenient for mum. A plush, padded seat with a five-point freedom of movement harness and multiple position recline makes the Peg Perego Switch Pushchair cozy and comfy for baby. Currently, there are only 3 colour combinations available for the Peg Perego Pliko Switch (red and gray “Tango,” chocolate and tan “Mocha,” and Dark brown and green “Bambu”), but all of them are tasteful and modern. The Peg Perego Pliko Switch features removable upholstery that is machine washable. The Peg Perego Pliko Switch’s large hood unzips into a summery sun canopy.

One of the most popular features of the Peg Perego Pliko line is the included footboard for transporting older children on the back of the pushchair. Although I have yet to see or read how this feature will work with the Pliko Switch’s rearward facing seat, I imagine it will be fun for an older child to ride while looking down at his baby brother or sister. Time will tell whether the Peg Perego Pliko Switch still allows the footboard to be used in a practical way.

For those who want a travel system, the Pliko Switch, like all Peg Perego models, includes built in car seat adaptors for the Peg Perego Primo Viaggio car seat. All the other Peg Perego Pliko models have made excellent use of this feature, and parents often claim it to be their favorite thing about the pushchair.

The Peg Perego Pliko Switch pushchair really only has one negative factor at this point: it’s brand new. Because the Pliko Switch has yet to be widely used, there is no guarantee that it will perform as promised. However, based on the excellent quality of the rest of the Peg Perego Pliko line, I’m guessing that if you are looking for a reversible pushchair, the Peg Perego Pliko Switch is a safe bet.

If you want the functionality of a Bugaboo Gecko for less money, the Peg Perego Uno is a good candidate. What’s more, the Peg Perego Uno has more features than a Bugaboo, making it a practical choice for real parents who need storage and accessories in a stroller.

The Peg Perego Uno is a convertible system that changes from a cozy pram to a stroller with a simple adjustment. Like a Bugaboo, the Peg Perego Uno features a chassis with two small wheels and two large ones. When in pram mode, the Peg Perego Uno’s larger wheels are in front, ensuring a smooth, even ride for young babies. As a stroller, the Peg Perego Uno’s smaller swivel wheels are in front, making the Uno agile and maneuverable. Even in pram mode, the Peg Perego features a “Zero Radius Turning” feature that makes turning in tight spaces easy and effortless. Switching between the two modes is simply a matter of adjusting the Peg Perego Uno’s reversible handle in a way that is very similar to the Bugaboo.

While a Bugaboo Frog or Gecko can cost up to $800, the Peg Perego Uno runs for around $450. The Bugaboo strollers are severely lacking in accessories, the Peg Perego Uno comes loaded with all the necessities: large hood/sunshade, shopping basket, warm foot muff, cup holder, car seat adaptors for any model of car seat, and child snack tray. To go from pram mode to stroller mode in the Bugaboo, you have to remove the bassinette (pram) fabric from the Bugaboo frame and replace it with the seat fabric. The Peg Perego Uno has a much simpler transition. The thickly padded stroller seat becomes the pram, so switching modes is truly a matter of seconds.

Of course, the Peg Perego Uno includes all the standard features you’ll find on any Peg Perego model: full wheel suspension, five-point freedom of movement safety harness, cable brakes, removable bumper/child tray, and adjustable recline seat. The Peg Perego Uno can also be used as both a forward or rear-facing stroller, so you can choose to keep an eye on your baby or let him soak in his surroundings.

While the Peg Perego Uno does fold with one hand, it is a little bulky. When folded, the Peg Perego Uno will take up most of the trunk space in your car, so it’s not ideal for traveling or running errands. Some parents complain that the wheel base on the Peg Perego Uno is a little too wide, making it difficult to push through narrow spaces. The Peg Perego Uno is ideal for city or rural dwellers that run most of their errands on foot. Suburban families may find that transporting the Peg Perego Uno is too much hassle.

So, if that Bugaboo is destined to remain an expensive, out-of-reach dream, look into the Peg Perego Uno as a more down to earth option.
